Clinton will join Obama at private fundraiser, not on trail

9/29/12 1:11 PM EDT

President Obama is continuing to lean on Bill Clinton for help in the final weeks before Election Day, and part of that is heavily promoting its latest small donor raffle prize: a chance to “meet President Obama and me on the campaign trail,” as the latest email sent by the campaign under Clinton’s name put it on Friday. Another from Michelle Obama added that it would be “on the campaign trail in California next week.”

But that depends a little on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. Or at least “next week” and “campaign trail.”

Starting Sunday, Obama will be in Nevada preparing for his first debate with Mitt Romney, which will be in Denver on Wednesday night. He’ll spend the rest of the week at events in Colorado, Ohio and Virginia.

So what about that promised campaign trail stop with Clinton in California next week?

“The fundraising event with President Clinton will be at a private residence in LA on the 7th,” explained Marti Adams of the Obama campaign.

And as of now, that’s the only time the two presidents will be together. Though the Obama campaign expects Clinton to do more events on Obama’s behalf after his swing through New Hampshire Wednesday ahead of the debate, people looking to see them together will have to just reload the pictures of the two of them hugging on stage after Clinton’s speech at the convention.

“There are no public events on the schedule at this time,” Adams added.
